I'm sure there are a lot of people who own multiple altcoins and would like to be able to view their portfolios in full, using a hardware device.  I have to agree with OP's frustration here, though I'm not casting aspersions on the Ledger S--it is what it is.  Personally, I don't own that many altcoins but it would be nice to be able to view more than four at once.  If the Ledger X has that capability (I don't own one), it's an improvement.

Nice.  That would be more than enough for me, and I probably should have bought a Nano X instead of the Nano S.  It was my first hardware wallet and I didn't do enough research before making the purchase, just like when I bought the useless Keepkey.  Oh well.  They aren't that expensive, but I just don't own enough crypto to justify it.
